Cascina Galarin 2007 Le Querce (Barbera d’Asti)

Country: Italy / Le Querce
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Cascina Galarin / Barbera d’Asti

This Barbera opens with meaty aromas that resemble smoked bacon or beef jerky but you’ll also get whiffs of blackberry, prune and plum. The wine is tart but also slightly sweet in the mouth and the overall fruit seems to show very mature, chewy characteristics.
